Rainforest Sounds
In this session we took a trip far far away — to the rainforests of the Amazon, Australia and beyond. Participants responded to the squeaks of orangutans, the sound of Indris calling in the rain, a night on the Amazon river and much more.
Start by listening to some of the sounds from the session and looking at participants work.
